Lebyane, who was dragged for saying Mzansi had a negative mentality, took to her X page to straight out tell Thusi that certain things are to be kept private.

What did Pearl Thusi say?

Peal Thusi reflected on their time working together in the entertainment industry, from hosting events to their iconic moments on Live Amp.

However, her tribute took an unusual turn when she remembered a time she had to share her hotel room with the late DJ.

The actress and model, who later also became a DJ, said on the podium:

"Warras was so afraid of missing his flight in the morning, so he insisted that we stay in the same room so that he wouldn't miss his flight, and I was like, 'Friend, no.'"
